HOME

Well faithful followers this will be the last post for this journey. Thanks for traveling with us. We visited 29 states, 2 provinces and one territory. We traveled 15,300 miles. We had the most incredible time, one we will remember and treasure for the rest of our lives. We had so much fun and return home with very mixed feelings. We are happy to be home but will miss our little trailer and all of the adventure. Again, thanks for taking the trip with us and we look forward to seeing you all again.

Henniker, NH


View at the campground, a nice little pond.







Photo at beach, squinting into the sun. We are looking just a little rough around the edges :0) A visitor at the door.







Henniker, NH

We traveled along back roads today. This is a view of Hogback Mountain. It had a road side turn out and gift shop.







Our last camp ground.







Well we are almost at the end of our journey. One last night here in New Hampshire so we can color in one final state. It was a beautiful drive today. The sun was shining the trees had a bit more color and we followed a stream for much of the way. We were in the Green Mountains of VT and then into NH. We are staying at the Mile-Away Campground. It is on French Pond and very nice, might be worth a return trip in the future.

Bennington, VT

This moose was decorated with thumb nail photos. Pirate moose and hippy moose.







This one was my favorite.
Clock in the center of town.






Pownal, VT

School house from the outside and inside.

Scary dolls. Carole, see the large one in the middle, the one with a big head on shoulders, does it remind you someone?






A couple views inside the auto "Oasis".






Spent the afternoon in Bennington. Went to the museum which was much better than I anticipated. My first thought was 'oh not another museum' but it had some unique things. The best was the Grandma Moses exhibit. Lots of her artwork, artifacts and the one-room school house that she attended as a child. It also had a bunch of other artifacts including medical items (an early 1900's artificial arm), dental tools, musical instruments and a room of glass ware. We also visited Hemmings Motor News Car Lover's Oasis, a full-service gas station that houses memorabilia related to autos and repair work. Again a great place that had lots of items that we both remembered such as sleds, bikes and various car repair items. We walked around town to view the moose that were decorated by local businesses and will be auctioned off.
